Welcome Message and First Post

I have decided to begin another blog.  This one is related to my professional life and career.  As the title states, this blog will contain comments on things and trends I observe in the Chicago-area legal community.  Specifically I will create short, weekly posts on:

• Hiring, jobs, and the legal job market in Chicago
• Resumes.  There will be plent on resumes here
• Contract assignments (formerly known as temping)
• General trends in law firms (without naming names)
• Technology trends
• Things I observe in the law departments of corporations
• Suggestion to candidates and job-seekers on email protocal and resume formatting
• And other comments in general....
